Ajay Devgn's Raid beats Akshay Kumar's Pad Man to become the second highest opening weekend grosser of 2018

It is always heartening to see good films fetch appreciation and equally big box office returns. We are talking about Ajay Devgns Raid, which is cruising towards making a successful haul at the box office. A film which is devoid of any commercial trappings, has managed to draw the audience to the theatres this weekend. Thus the film has managed to become the second highest opening weekend grosser of 2018 after beating Akshay Kumar's Pad Man. The film has earned Rs 41.01 crore in just three days, as opposed to Akshay Kumars Pad Man, that had minted Rs 40.05 crore. The film might just become the next big hit of 2018! (Also read: Ajay Devgn's son Yug watched Raid and you need to check out his review)

We had already told you how the audience applauded the film. They were so enamoured by acting giants like Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla in the film that they refused to compare them. The film's performance is proof enough that when it comes to films, the audience is only looking for content. They don't have any interest in soulless films. There has to be some substance for them to accept it. Our movie-going audience has matured and how! Applauding a film, which was devoid of any regular shenanigans, proves this fair and square. Check out the numbers right here...

Now the wait is to see how the film fares on a Monday. That will set the tune for how much it will earn at the end of its first week.

Everybody talks about Vimal's Calculator but there's always a Canadian Calculator for Akki. Akki can press the enter button on that maple leaf to get his answers. 🤣



Lilly Singh aka Superwoman (Miss Canadian Deshbhakt) can help Akki with numbers. This GIF explains what kind of person she is to support Akki.

Padman is a niche film. Raid is not.

End of discussion.

Man, this is too funny to see the outcome of Raid crossing Padman.

1. Padman get promoted effectively in many parts of India then followed by the Padman challenge with all the celebs support.

2. Failed to succeed at the BO based on what i said above.

3. RAID had no buzz and no promotion but the film has gotten a decent opening and receving so much craze.

4. Audiences want good content and epic peformances like RAID

5. Akki & Tina's tatics failed despite so much publicity.


Hahaa 🤣

Nope it's not end of discussion. Show isn't over yet...

If 2mrw Uday Chopra announces his Supaari 2, it will also open with humongous response unlike Canadian Akshay Kumar's overpromoted #Padman pure bollywood ne promote karke bhi 20% opening. Dont give silly excuses like Taboo,Niche, even his commercial films failed 2 take big start.

Now people are calling Padman a niche movie. 😆

I am really shocked to see the collections of #Padman . It was not a niche film, it was a taboo breaking very entertaining film. Indian audience needs to grow up. If it was made by Aamir khan, China Collection of Padman would have created history.
